me: “What does the ritual do and how is it weird?”
whisper: “The ritual massively increases the impact that a particular person’s death will have on the ghost field – whatever emotion they’re feeling when they die, it’ll affect the ghost field as if a hundred people died feeling that emotion. It’s weird because, as long as ritual is in effect, the subject will gain increasingly intense visions of their own death.”
whisper: “What must I do to perform the ritual, and what is its price?”
me: “To perform the ritual, you need to eat hundred living deathseeker crows while chanting your goddess’ hundred names. Then, you need to cut out your own stomach, stich it with the crows inside, and bath it in the blood of one you truly love. The stomach you need to bury in a place you’ve conducted a massacre while whispering softly the name of the person you want to die.”
me “What new belief or fear does knowledge of this ritual and its attendant occult forces instill in you?”
whisper: “Man, exploiting metaphysical laws is hard!”

I don’t think so. But yes, he likes the dark-nihilistic-lovecraftian side of duskwal.
